- 4 - equated to $2,040 in income and made an income adjustment for $2,040, which is characterized in the notice of deficiency as a "Frivolous Deduction".3 In November 1994, petitioner prepared and sent to respondent another Form 1040X for 1992, in which petitioner listed the same amount of gross income reported on the 1992 amended return, $24,304; however, on this second amended return, petitioner listed $12,087.49 as "nontaxable compensation, compensation exclusion". This second amended return listed a tax of $416 and claimed a refund of $1,256. Petitioner also signed the second 1992 amended return and stamped above his signature "Without Prejudice UCC 1-207". In the explanation portion of the Form 1040X, petitioner included a compilation of tax protester gibberish. This second 1992 amended return was not accepted for filing by respondent. 3 The notice of deficiency states, in pertinent part: The * * * [1992 amended return] was based on various tax protestor arguments, including the taxpayer's contention that income taxes are voluntary, wages are not includable in taxable income, and that the Sixteenth Amendment is limited to excise taxes. The Service Center erroneously processed the taxpayer's claim and abated $574 of his tax liability. The taxpayer received a refund for this abatement. The assessment of petitioner's 1992 taxes, based on the filed 1992 return, remained except for the $574 abatement resulting from the 1992 amended return. Thus, the deficiency for 1992 is limited to the $574 abatement.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
